Hello!  Thank you for stopping by and checking out our project.

PRIVATE LIFE is an independent short film, currently in post-production. We still have some expensive stuff to do like mixing the sound, finishing the visual effects, burning the DVDs and Blu-Rays, submitting to festivals and more. 

We may look familiar because we did an Indiegogo campaign last fall to help pay for production costs.  Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to make it this far. Now we are close to the end and are in need of your help again. PRIVATE LIFE is completely filmed.  The film is picture locked.  Color Correction is generously being provided by MOVING PICTURE COMPANY (World War Z, Man of Steel, Skyfall, Life of Pi, Prometheus).  But we’re hurrying to finish to get the films out to festivals like SundanceBerlinSXSWOutfest, and many more.  Please consider helping us out!

We’ve set up some rewards to thank you for your help.  No donation is too small!  It all helps us maximize the potential success of PRIVATE LIFE and gets us closer to being able to share it with you.

WHAT’S THE STORY?

When Eric, a young reclusive photographer, secretly follows his boyfriend Chris into the mountains, he hopes to find answers about Chris’s fidelity.  Instead, Eric finds a deeper connection to himself and to Chris just as they fall prey to a stranger who targets them, a tragedy that changes Eric forever.  Private Life is a dramatic thriller inspired by an actual hate crime.

WHAT’S THE MONEY FOR?

We’ve managed to get through the entire production and picture edit of this film on a shoestring budget mainly through ingenuity, favors and very generous support from people like you.  We’ve lined up outrageous deals along those same lines for our sound and music, but they still cost money.  We also need to pay for the DVD and Blu-ray and their packaging, and festival submission fees.  Believe me, this all adds up quickly, but we know that with your help, we’ll be able to raise the necessary funds.
